August 2009, Brno Czech Republic

Last week the Red Hat Mobicents core team had a face to face meeting to review 2009 and define the plans for 2010, and uhh... have some fun also ;)

I made a few presentations related with JAIN SLEE and SIP Presence Service projects, you can look at the slides here and here. Briefly the roadmaps were updated and represent another aggressive turn, JAIN SLEE 2.x is now under heavy core optimization and cluster is the magic word, while SIP Presence finally sees a concrete plan towards a GA release.

Mobicents Platform wide, the plans for High Availability and Fault Tolerance are ambitious, with a cooperative work between JAIN SLEE and Sip Servlets teams, and there will be a strong effort by the team to also greatly improve JAIN SIP reference implementation.

Also, Mobicents Media Server team has really done a fine job into creating a great open source java media server, and the SS7 connectors roadmap for it (and also for a set of related JAIN SLEE resource adaptors) really got my attention. Cheers to all involved.

Of course, I would not finish the post without some fun time photos, after all we had soccer, karts, great dinners, awesome night parties... Look for yourself!!

Warming up for the karts, Mobicents Sip Servlets Lead Jean Deruelle and me, with awesome looking cheap fake hair

One hell of a dinner, all the team members present at the meeting, except the great host - Pavel.

Congratulations to the whole team for such a fantastic meeting, and to Brno city for being so kind
